Creation Flows in Waves

In the realm of mysticism, waves—manifested as light, sound, and other energetic phenomenal forms—are often perceived as bridges connecting the tangible and intangible, the seen and unseen.

These oscillations not only shape our physical reality, but also resonate with deeper spiritual truths.

Light, in its dual nature as both particle and wave, or seemingly standing still or in motion, has long been a symbol of Divine presence across various mystical traditions.

The Kabbalistic concept of Ohr (אור), meaning "Light," represents Divine Emanation. This spiritual Light is believed to flow from the Infinite (Ein Sof), cascading through successive stages, called Partzufim, to manifest the physical universe.

The wave-like properties of Light, with its ability to diffract and interfere, mirror the intricate patterns through which Divine energy permeates existence.

This aligns with the idea that Light's behavior, its diffraction and interference patterns, serves as a metaphor for the diffusion of Divine wisdom throughout creation.

Sound, as a vibrational wave, holds profound significance in mystical practices.

Many traditions assert that the universe was birthed from a primordial sound or vibration.

In Hinduism, the syllable "Om" is considered the sound of creation, encapsulating the essence of the universe. And the Bible states that God 'Spoke' the Word of creation and saw that it was good.

The study of cymatics—the visualization of sound waves—reveals that sound frequencies can generate geometric patterns in physical media, such as sand or water.

These patterns often resemble the sacred geometries found in spiritual art and architecture, suggesting a fundamental connection between sound vibrations and the underlying structure of reality.

In Tantra, the 'Spanda' is the Creative Principle of the entire cosmos. This Creative Force is used by Tantrikas to cultivate future siddhis, or spiritual powers.

Time, within mystical frameworks, is often viewed as a fluid construct, intertwined with the oscillatory nature of waves.

The frequency of a wave, the number of oscillations per unit of time, determines its energy and manifestation.

For instance, higher-frequency light waves appear as violet, while lower frequencies manifest as red.

This spectrum can be seen as a metaphor for different levels of consciousness or spiritual states, with higher frequencies symbolizing elevated awareness.

In this context, time is not a linear progression, but a rhythm, a series of cycles that reflect the pulsating nature of the cosmos, the very breath of creation.

The omnipresence of waves in various forms (light, sound, electromagnetic, like radio, infrared, ultrasound, microwaves, gammawaves, etc) highlights the interconnected fabric of the universe.

Mystically, this suggests that all entities are vibrations within a grand cosmic symphony.

The concept of the "music of the spheres," originating from Pythagorean philosophy, posits that celestial bodies emit harmonious frequencies as they move, reflecting a universal order.

This harmony is thought to influence the human soul, aligning it with the cosmos' rhythmic patterns.

Understanding waves through a mystical lens invites contemplation of the universe as a dynamic interplay of energies and vibrations. Vibrations are what we've forgotten, the things we re-member that make us whole again.

Light and sound waves become more than physical phenomena; they are expressions of a deeper spiritual reality, guiding seekers toward a harmonious existence attuned to the cosmic rhythm.

In the upper realms, vibration, waves, and their causes and effects, emerge as our remembering of the essential nature. These can't be taught through physical speech, they must be experienced directly.
